TRAMA

The 'TRAMA – Database on the History of Legal Psychology in Brazil and Criminal Justice Policies and Public Security Related to Youth' is a digital database of concepts and analytical categories present in the theoretical corpus of Brazilian legal psychology and studies on violence.

With an emphasis on the historical research of national production on legal psychology, studies on violence, and public security policies related to youth, the research creates a public-use electronic archive with free internet access. It allows for the search of concepts and analytical categories developed in the field of crime and violence studies, with a special focus on legal psychology and public security policies for youth.

The archive includes an entry for each concept or analytical category, followed by the transcription of its definition and references to the author(s) and works where it can be found. It serves as an information source for research, providing support to researchers from undergraduate to postgraduate levels.

The project has the potential to integrate psychology with other fields of knowledge, enabling the faculty and students involved not only to experience research-based learning but also to understand the need for interprofessional collaboration in addressing complex topics, such as those related to the study of violence. The database is the result of a research project coordinated by Professor Juliana Ferreira da Silva and is linked to the Graduate Program in Psychology at the Catholic University of Brasília.
